    [Portuguese Review (PT/BR)] Uma experiência incrível. O combate de Ghost of Tsushima é insano e perfeito em todos os sentidos! A exploração e objetivos secundários no mundo aberto deixa a experiência de todos os jogadores muito mais imersiva. O conteúdo da história (enredo) cumpre seu papel do início ao fim.

    El juego muestra una invasión Mongola sobre una isla japonesa que sufre y lucha como puede, mientras que el personaje principal evoluciona desde los primeros pasos, sufriendo realmente y sintiendo como su propio modo de vida se rompe entre el Samurai y su educación familiar y la persona del Fantasma que es la antítesis del propio codigo de Bushido.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game I came into low expectations in the beginning thinking this was just another jade dynasty game , generic Japanese culture game. But playing it almost 10 to 15 hours into the game ( currently in the mission tale of ryuizo ). I would say this game is stunning and amazing to.look at. There are glitches in thr game don't get me wrong. But its not game breaking. There was a part sensei ishikawa got stuck in one of the steps of his dojo and I just started laughing. I loved it. But the game play and the open world is rich and a lot of stuff to do in it. From mongols stronghold to side mythic tales ( my favorite so far is heavenly strike) to side mission from characters you recruited in the main missions of the game. Give you a sense of great character development and a sense of immersion in each unique characters. To lady masako to ryuizo. Sorry if I'm butchering these names. I cant wait to finish this game and see the ending . I loved how you can upgrade your armour from the supplies you get throughout the game and the platforming is heavenly. Despite glitches when you fight a bear for the first time ( makes you think the bear is a different object and throws you around like a rag doll) its intense and rewarding when you win a fight against the mongols invading island of Tsushima. This game is what makes a game godlike and fun. Of course is not the greatest game but it comes close to red dead redemption and God of war remake for the ps4. Sucker punch you amazed me on how creating a game is . props to you and the team your company has. Don't let them go and keep creating awesome games. **** NAUGHTY DOG AND THE LAST OF US PART II!!!!!

    As many people have stated the outstanding positives of this game I won't be repeating them myself.(atmosphere, gameplay,story, narrative execution etc.) The game has indeed some problems though minor ones. I write this review after I platinumed the game.
    - The stealth sections are not bad. Yes, they are not TLOU 2 improvements we've seen but keep in mind this is an open world game. Yes,
    As many people have stated the outstanding positives of this game I won't be repeating them myself.(atmosphere, gameplay,story, narrative execution etc.) The game has indeed some problems though minor ones. I write this review after I platinumed the game.
    - The stealth sections are not bad. Yes, they are not TLOU 2 improvements we've seen but keep in mind this is an open world game. Yes, it's not revolutionary. The problem lies with some upgrades you get in-game(like stealth armor-charms) which make the stealth less believable. But if you play it on hard without any real stealth upgrades the AI is believable enough(at least as far as the most open world AI is considered). However, in my opinion, it does a good enough job to immerse you in the gameplay of the Ghost. I would like to see improvements in next gen in this aspect from SuckerPunch though.
    - Mid to Late game you have so many tools that you are cheat. This same problem I dealt with Jedi: Fallen Order. As in Jedi where you could brute your way with the OP force, here you have so many tools that bypass the enemies defenses that if you abuse them the game is a joke(difficulty wise) even in hard. 5 Kunais, Sticky bombs, grenades, explosive arrows, smokebombs which leads in 3 chains assasinations. You can do most of the stuff in mid-late game without having to dodge-parry anything. And the enemies drop a good amount of them back so you can keep going. Though this is done to push the ghost gameplay, it overshadows the really good swordsman gameplay of the game. I would advice to not abuse them and the game will be more fun. At least this is how I feel like.
    - Act III was a bit small. Or at least I felt like that. I think Acts I and II were really good content wise whereas Act III was half in content.
    In coclusion, I would like to add that loading times for this game were REALLY good. I have the base Ps4 with the base HDD and fast travel was 3-7 secs. Respawning was 3-4 secs. That made the hunt for platinum and the overall experience very smooth( can't wait for Ps5 SSD :D ). Please don't take this review as a bad one. I'm just pointing out some minor things that could be improved upon. The game is awesome and I loved it. I would give it a 9.2 but heck it everyone seems to like it a lot!
    Thanks for reading I hope I helped you a bit.

So often I found myself wanting to stop and just take in its breathtaking scenery. I seriously can not say enough about the art direction of this game. I loved this games hud design where everything just seems to be done in a way to serve immersion. Even the way you are guided by the wind to seek quest and places added to the immersion. The games protagonist is compelling and a lot of time is spent fleshing out its host of interesting side characters very well thought out quest.
    Sound is immaculate and though I came across a few bugs none were so glaring that they ruined the gaming experience and I believe they will be patched quickly. Lots of worthwhile loot and collectibles to find. Love the lore that you can discover to learn more about the world. If you are a fan of open world immersive action games with deep customization and great rpg Elements, I highly recommend this game!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game beautifully represents samurai culture and emotions. Every side story you play has a different emotion. As a open world game, you would accept this game to be like a Assassins game, specifically like odyssey or origins which felt absolutely bleak, but this game does what almost no assassins game, or GTA game has done, it makes you feel for all its characters. Through the progression of story it makes you feel for its main characters, every characters motive seem absolutely justified. Most importantly this game makes you feel like a samurai and also a Ninja but it’s challenging combat also reminds that you are alone out in this island trying to kill other trained warriors. It successfully gives you a lesson on pride, it even tests you at key moments, if you are ready to give in your pride for the sake of your people or keep your pride for the death of your people. Next to The Last of us part 2 this game is absolutely Game of the year worthy and a must play. Game contains partial nudity and a whole lot of violence, maybe not par with the last of us part 2 but enough to make you think that you are reckless. Expand

    Honestly though, they are two very different games. TLOU2 goes hard with the narrative and I enjoyed that. Ghost is absolutely an open world game and you're free to do whatever you please whenever you please as you progress the story. So there's that. The combat is amazing, and honestly this has to be the most beautiful video game I've ever played. Seriously, I wish I lived in feudal japan now.

    I liked too much about this game. so I'm gonna list everything I didn't like as much.

    - Act 1 was a bit bloated. Missions felt overlong at points, however the pay off was insane. - The camera control was extremely weak - A I was a bit funny - Repetitive missions here and there. this didn't take away from the amazing game sucker punch has given to us. Act 2 and 3 are some of the

    this didn't take away from the amazing game sucker punch has given to us. Act 2 and 3 are some of the best written stuff I have ever seen and the gameplay is also highly addictive and something I will never forget. This is on par with tlou2 for me. Both are my GOTY. yes I loved the last of us 2, sorry angry Joe.

    Whether you like Samurai/Japanese culture or if you never heard of it and are curious to learn about it, this game is for you. No other western studio has come even close to this level of accuracy while making it this fun...I don't want to say the "it makes you feel like a samurai" but it truly does! most entertaining time I had for a long time. definitely recommended it's a masterpiece!Whether you like Samurai/Japanese culture or if you never heard of it and are curious to learn about it, this game is for you.

    Now to the non-spoiler details. I like to start with the worst first (although there is not that much bad things about it):

    The Ugly:
    Nothing is ugly about this game it's the most beautiful game I've ever played but relatively the worst thing about this game is the stealth/Assasin mechanics with bugs and dumb AI. Although its only competition from AAA games is assassin's creed and it easily goes way above and beyond that mess of a game so I didn't care about that.
    Plus if you choose to stay true to your Samurai ideals like me you won't even notice it.

    The Bad:
    The story, the protagonist, and the mo-cap in Japanese could've used a little refinement.
    Here too is not literally bad but like a freshly washed, ironed snow-white shirt even a little hair can be seen from a mile. So it's more like the mediocre not the bad.

    And finally the good:
    There are a million beautiful things you won't be able to forget coming out of this game so if you can pass the above-said negatives, Everything else is a positive. The game strives to be unique and solve a lot of the issues with this genre of open-world games and succedes but I prefer you experience it first hand and not read about its details like I did...it will definitely help you immerse yourself even more in this beautiful game.

    The gameplay is marvelous, actually I’ve never played a game this good in swordplay and the story was very good and cinematic (if anyone watched a classical samurai movie and liked it, should buy this game), although there was some issues such as the AI and some issues in parkour but it worth the price and the time

    Your heart will break by this one incident between the end of Act 2 and beginning of Act 3.
    And you will sometimes find yourself playing ‘A Chorus of Raindrops’ at the end point of the said incident.

    Fun to play, the combats mechanics are great! Im still enjoying. It is have a long gameplay, with stonishing places, and with a beatifull soundtrack. This game has an excelent character developing(Learn How to do It Neil Druckmann).

    The downside of this game, is the gameplay style, it looks like Assassins Creed hahahahah. Graphics kinda tricked me because of the trailer, but still looks

    Just finished with the game and got my platinum trophy. This game is an absolute must for every ps4 user. It has beautiful graphics, a cool story, a lot of things to explore, one of the best in the genre. I'm ready for Ghost of Tsushima 2.

    Combat is badass with every perk you really feel and see the difference. The camera sucks sometimes but all in all a very good game. Thank you Sucker

    Ghost of Tsushima isn’t very original gameplay-wise and its open world feels a bit tired, but the sheer quality of content, the stylish action, the fantastic sound design and the beautiful environment make this a must-play.

    Very good combar system. Very poetic game. The best landscape graphics i ever see in a game. Great side quests. Goty in my opinion. Makes you feel living in feudal Japan. Go play fast! That metacritic note 88 its outrageous! Its deserves até least 93!

    Llevaré unas 15 horas y es agradable el sentimiento de mundo abierto que te aporta. La narrativa es simple, pero lo compensa con una variedad de movimientos, estrategias e inmersión que hacía tiempo que no veía. Lo recomiendo mucho, es como un Far Cry con la dinámica de Days Gone ^^

    So far I am 20 +hours in to the game and it is absolutely amazing .. graphics wise the game is beautiful .. the game play you actually feel like a samurai .. compared to ac it's better .. the sword feels like you are slicing through dudes the enemies are not damage sponges .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Excellent game full of variety and tons of sidequests (tales) that intertwine with the main story in a very organic way.
    The graphics are breathtaking and the world and characters of GOT are interesting and move the plot forward. Masterpiece!

    Great game, the story is spot on; combat system is fun, though the stealth system is a bit retarded; the best part of this game is the scenery and the atmosphere, definitely one of the best in the industry!! Also the classic Japanese samuraï cinematic is well recreated, remarkable work for a dev from US.

    Already Player more than 20 hours and am barely on Act 2 of the game. It might get repetitive if you play too many side quests but just give it a 2-3 days rest and you'll be enjoying it as much as day one again.

    What a beautifully made game!! I have never used foto mood until now, it’s a real work of art. The combat is simple but satisfactory. Sucker punch properly delivers a revenge story as one of the last samurai waging an unconventional war for the freedom of japan. I highly recommend the game!!

    I just loved the game,i think if they added nightmare difficulty and fixed camera it will be real 10/10.
    For me it feels like wicher3+dark souls+best old parts of assassins creed.Really good mix with good story and great fighting system.
    I havent gone too far in main quest yet,and i must say side-quest are really good,not mention the legendary story quests. Keep it up SP,only question

    Keep it up SP,only question why Main Character can't cut off heads of enemies like mongols did with samurai in prologue?

    PS.I finished it now,and im truly glad to change 9 to 10 despite camera issue:)

    The best samurai game in a long time and a great fun for all, who love action. Love for Japan and its history is a big plus, but its knowledge is not necessary to enjoy every minute of this beautiful game. [Issue#305]

    Ghost of Tsushima is a flawed, but fun, game. While the gameplay itself was solid, and the story was decent, I definitely expected a lot more from Sony’s final PlayStation 4 exclusive. It had enough to keep me hooked, but lacked the polish we’ve all grown to love from a Sony first party game.

    Ultimately, it feels like the game could have benefited from a smaller scope or a more linear structure. Focus on the duels could have created a more engrossing product, especially if it honed in on the narrative for a more concise and cinematic experience. But as it stands, Ghost of Tsushima is another AAA open world title and doesn’t seek to define itself as anything other than that.
